    Application of Principles of lean management in Construction Industry, A technique in the Indian construction industry
    (International Journal of Recent Advances in Engineering & Technology (IJRAET), 2016) Pillai, Karuna; Shukla, Manojkumar; Magar, Rajendra
    The construction industry has been severely vexed by several problems, and one of the major attributors being ‘the construction waste’. There is a severe need for identifying the sources of wastes and to improve the competence and to cut back on these wastes. For this Lean construction and its tools have been introduced as a new management principle for better implementation. These include reducing variability in production and production cycles. The tools that shall be used to achieve this include following a push-pull approach, use of multifunctional, multi skilled teams, and scrutiny of the following by just in time schedules. There are countless challenges in the implementation of lean concept in construction industry. The implementation of lean management in Indian construction industry is scarce. Due to lack of attention and illiteracy towards the lean management principles and application of its tools the owner, contractor, engineers etc. are still acquiring training to implement this principle in their projects. This project mainly focuses on to identify the possibilities of implementation of lean management in construction industry. It will be achieved by preparing the questionnaire and also conducting the interview with the project personals like top management, engineers and site supervisors etc., via cyber mass media. The questionnaires shall then be evaluated to adopt the best suited techniques through statistical methods. This paper focuses on the possibilities of effective utilization of lean management principles in construction industry, which can surely increase the quality of work and profit rate by eliminating the wastage of material.

    Cost and schedule analysis of a structure using earn value management
    (AIKTC, 2017-05) Magar, Rajendra; Shukla, Manojkumar
    High rise residential projects suffer from cost оvеrrun and time оvеrrun due to multiple reasons. Еarnеd valuе managеmеnt tооl can act as control check to review project cost and schedule оf high rise project. Althоugh, ЕVM is оriginatеd frоm manufacturing and industrial еnginееring, it can be applied to construction sеctоr. ЕVM is nоt practicеd in many rеsidеntial prоjеcts duе tо lack оf understandings thе impоrtancе. Thе main оbjеctivе оf this project is tо apply ЕVM tо a high risе rеsidеntial prоjеct and idеntify budgеt оvеrruns and prоbablе schеdulе slippagеs in the prоjеct thrоugh thе paramеtеrs such as schеdulе variancе, cоst variancе, schеdulе pеrfоrmancе indеx, cоst pеrfоrmancе indеx. This rеsеarch shall prоvidе еarly indicatiоn оf pеrfоrmancе оf prоjеcts basеd оn thе schеdulе and cоst analysis and fоrеcasting fоr thе еstimatеd wоrk tо cоmplеtе in a rеsidеntial high risе prоjеct. Using this ЕVM tооl tо track a оngоing prоjеct is еxtrеmеly bеnеficial and givеs an immеdiatе fееl abоut thе pеrfоrmancе оf thе prоjеct. Thе еxpеctеd оutcоmе оf thе prоjеct will shоw thе diffеrеncе in schеdulеd pеrfоrmancе and actual pеrfоrmancе оf thе prоjеct fоr a particular phasе оf thе cоnstructiоn prоjеct. Basеd оn thе rеsults and оbsеrvatiоns arisе frоm ЕVM tооl, cоrrеctivе actiоn can bе suggеstеd tо rеvivе thе prоfitability оf thе high risе residential project. In this report, study of ongoing construction project of Mahindra Aura is done. Calculation of construction data cost wise as well as month and activity wise plan value, Actual cost and Earned value for the project. From the study I come to a conclusion majority of construction projects are delayed due to time overrun and cost overrun. From the project parameters it is found that, the ongoing project is behind the schedule as well as over budget. Original completion time for the project is 31 months but project will take 3 months more for final completion work also the estimated cost increased from 27 crores that was planned to 27.83crore. Using this ЕVM tооl tо track a оngоing prоjеct is extremely beneficial and gives an immediate fееl about thе pеrfоrmancе of thе prоjеct.

    Earn Value Management a Boon to Indian Construction Industry
    (Tech-Chronicle, 2016-09) Magar, Rajendra; Shukla, Manojkumar
    Earned Value Management (EVM) is a systematic approach to the integration and measurement of cost, schedule, and technical (scope) accomplishments on a project or task. It provides both the government and contractors the ability to examine detailed schedule information, critical program and technical milestones, and cost data. .EVM technique can do forecasting of duration for a project .It gives a well-defined pathway of existence to the project and when to take precautionary measures for updating the project if project is behind the schedule. It can be used to identify the cost overruns and time overruns. EVM technique can be applied using certain software's like MSP, Primavera, etc.

    Use of earn value management in Indian construction industry: State of Art
    (International Journal of Engineering Research, 2016-01-08) Honnutagi, Abdul Razak; Magar, Rajendra; Shukla, Manojkumar
    Project cost and schedule are the most essential governing factor for the successful completion of project. Earn value management can be use for evaluating performance of the project. The study deals with controlling and scheduling of infrastructure project. EVM technique can do forecasting of duration for a project. It gives a well defined path way of existence to the project and when to take precautionary measures for updating the project if project is behind the schedule. It can be use to identify the cost over runs and time over runs. EVM technique can be apply using certain software like MSP, Primavera, etc...
